Former Morning Musume singer Mari Yaguchi is quite the gamer. If you haven't heard of her before, here's a quick run-down: Mari believes she looks like Final Fantasy XIII's Vanille, she's a columnist for Famitsu and she was recently hired by Nintendo to promote World of Goo.

And now she will make an appearance in Yakuza 4 as the game's "massage babe", Mari, who will replenish your health with a good ol' rubdown. She might not be quite as... interesting as Yakuza 3's talented masseuse (transsexual model Ayana Tsubaki), but no doubt she'll get the job done and please many gamers while doing it! :D

Now that's an interesting way of regaining your health in a game!
